Samsung TV Binding

This binding should be compatible with Samsung TV models which support Apple and Android remote applications.

Limitations

The binding can send commands from openHAB to Samsung TV, but it does not signal any state changes issued by the Samsung TV remote. So creating a rule that triggers an action when the TV is switched on or off by the TV remote is not possible.

The KEY_POWERON command does not switch the TV on. Tested on Samsung UE40ES5700, maybe other models are working.

New models (H-Series TV´s like e.g. UEH5570 ) use a different (encrypted) protocol; they are not yet supported by this binding.

where <id1> and <id2> can be freely set to whatever name you want to give for a certain TV (e.g. “Livingroom” or “Bedroom”).

Example

# Host and port of the first TV to control
Livingroom.host=192.168.0.12
Livingroom.port=55000
# Host and port of the second TV to control
Bedroom.host=192.168.0.13
Bedroom.port=55000

During first connection attempt, the TV asks you to grant permission to the openHAB application. If you have missed the dialog, you can change permission options from the TV’s menu (e.g. Menu -> Network -> AllShare options). If you have any problems to control you TV by openHAB, you could verify connection by the official Samsung iOS or Android remote control app.
